I mostly blame the system, but I do also blame the people who vehemently oppose the policies that would make the system better. Like the people who rave about 15-minute city conspiracy theories just because they don't want to consider a future with less suburban sprawl. Or the people who rave about being forced to eat "ze bugs" just because they're emotionally attached to a high-meat diet. Granted, part of it is manufactured outrage by those with a financial incentive to maintain the status quo, but part of it is indeed genuine. People are more sensitive to real losses (e.g., loss of a high-meat diet, loss of their suburban sprawl, etc.) than to non-realized gains (i.e., the healthy, prosperous, sustainable world and society that would be possible if we enacted the right policies).
Yup this is me everytime everyone freaks out when I suggest we eat plant based.
